A 6.00 g lead bullet traveling at420 m/s is stopped by a large

Physics
1 answer:
Westkost [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The increase in temperature of the bullet is 351.1 kelvin

Explanation:

First, we should find the kinetic energy of the bullet is:

K=\frac{mv^{2}}{2}=\frac{(6\times10^{-3}\,kg)(420\,\frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2}

with m the mass and v the velocity.

K=529.2 J

Now we know that half of the kinetic energy of the bullet is transformed into internal energy, by second's law of thermodynamics that means heat (Q) to raise bullet temperature (T), so:

Q=\frac{K}{2}= 264.6\,J

To know what the increase in temperature is, we should use specific heat of lead:

c=125.604 \frac{J}{kg\.K}

The equation that relates specific heat, change in temperature and mass is:

Q=cm\varDelta T

solving for \varDelta T:

\varDelta T=\frac{Q}{cm}=\frac{264.6}{(125.604)(6\times10^{-3})}

\varDelta T= 351.10\, K

In comparison with a steep slope, a gentle slope _____.
kifflom [539]

A gentle slope requires less force over a longer distance as compared to steep slope.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage of a slope is equal to the ratio of length of slope and the height. A steep slope has shorter length as compared to a gentle slope for the same height. Therefore, mechanical advantage of a gentle slope is more than that of a steep slope. Hence, a gentle slope requires less force over a long distance than a steep slope.
